Juventus have agreed a deal with Ajax for the signing of Netherlands centre-back Matthijs de Ligt, according to Sky in Italy.
According to Sky Sport Italia, the agreements are all in place and he will fly in late Tuesday evening, for a medical on Wednesday morning.
The defender, who turns 20 next month, had already agreed personal terms believed to be worth €8-9m per year plus add-ons to reach a total €12m salary on a five-year contract.
He is set to wear the Number 4 jersey and had originally been expected to arrive at Turin’s Caselle Airport this evening, which would've been precisely one year on from Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival.
It’s reported there will be an initial €150m release clause in his contract, which will increase year on year.

It depends on de Ligt if he wants to join juventus, Ajax have already agreed, de Ligt is a talented player and has caught the attention of big clubs, he is energetic, strong, and young, any club would love to have him, so joining juventus won't be a problem for him, playing with Ronaldo is a huge honour and any player would love to play with him, good luck de ligt.
